nightlife wish list
Last week, the Weekly's Mike Prevatt
broke down the cool stuff our party
playground is still missing. Readers
added their own suggestions online.
A venue for up-and-coming talent
that will accommodate under 21.
–Candice Marie
Lounges with live music for the
older crowd. We have many local
performers like Earl Turner and
Cook E. Jarr who people would love
to go see. –Patty Janik
Exactly what Mike Prevatt said.
–Dee Martinez
Local live music venue. I still
remember and miss the Huntridge.
Also, local nightlife in general. I miss
places like Whiskey Sky that were
local lounges where I could sit and
chat or dance without buying a bot-
tle. –Patty Doyle
baa, baa, bighorn sheep
Feel like playing paparazzi to
Southern Nevada's native wildlife?
Here's some extra advice on where
to spot bighorns.
A local treat. The sheep are at
[Hemenway Park] fairly consistently
in my experience, probably about
80 percent of the times I've stopped
to check over 15 years. The bighorn
sheep at Hemenway Park sometimes
wander southeast toward the Boulder
City bypass (the 93). Perhaps the
grass along the trail/flood channel
seems greener? The animal control
people have had to direct the herd
back toward Hemenway. I've had to
wait on my bike for the sheep to com-
ply before I could continue. Members
of the River Mountains herd are also
sometimes seen along the River
Mountains Loop Trail, especially
around mile markers 14-16, and like
the article suggests, the herd is shyer
away from the park. –HistoryNevada

Gerad Taylor, Illustrator
For this week's pin-up cover girl we
went all the way to New Zealand to
tap Gerad Taylor, a veteran illustra-
tor who has worked for clients across
the globe, including major brands
like Coca-Cola. The Auckland native
has done all kinds of illustration but
gravitated toward retro-style images
as his career went on.
"I guess I find illustration from
the '40s-'60s more interesting as it
is the era before digital media where
illustrators really had to be able to
draw and paint. I worked in those
traditional media until the advent of
digital painting programs and then
adapted my skills to that medium,
trying not to lose the essence of the
traditional styles."
